It'll definitely be interesting, but I imagine people will just end up pairing an actual mouse to it if the games all have mouse support.

I, for one, can't wait until my joycon is so scuffed from vigorously rubbing it on a flat surface that it doesn't properly insert into the console. Maybe I'm assuming too much, but why would I give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt here?

I think it has normal mouse sliders. There's a thicker black line in figure 25 behind the line with number 33.

Good eye. Looking into it further, it looks like this picture seems to suggest that they've forseen this issue and will also provide an attachment for a better "mouse mode" experience.

Do they HAVE to draw hands so bad on patent applications? I mean like on every one I’ve ever seen.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

It's super hard to draw hands even for people that normally draw anatomical figures, and these are likely drawn by engineers that are used to drawing machines. At least they don't have 16 fingers. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is most probably a stylized projection of a 3D model.

I know right? There's no where near enough Doritos dust on those fingers!

Don't you do this to me......don't give me hope.

I haven't thought about H*R in a loooooong time. Thank you.

They still make occasional new releases on YouTube!

[–] BennyInc@feddit.org 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Dual mouse mode sounds interesting…

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Star Fox could be interesting controlled that way

I am coping hard for a Kid Icarus: Uprising remake using this. We know Sakurai has been working on something, and I'd hate for it to just be a new smash.

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I hope the next Fire Emblem uses this. Of course, they didn't use the Switch's touch screen, so I'm not holding my breath.

Little do you know Nintendo is in cahoots with Big Orthopedic.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

The asynchronous games were a lot of fun. https://www.mariowiki.com/Nintendo_Land had a couple of them, like one where everyone is in first person mode chasing the tablet player who has a top down view.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Sliding joycons against a flat surface? Cannot wait for it to come out they intentionally made them so piss poor that after a few times doing it, your joycon breaks and you need to get an official new one in order to use that feature, which will probably be shamelessly required to use an important feature in some place like their shitty store.

“And if you turn it sideways it works like a mouse”

“Okay”

Why are we talking about this more than that?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Because they haven't confirmed cat support yet!

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 4 months ago

You mean a mouse that won't get pushed off the desk? They'd win a Nobel prize for that.
